Why do we expect to beat the "big 4?"

[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 44820, member: 77"] Or any factory for that matter? Our expectations are way out of wack here folks. I get [I]want[/I] to win, heck, I want to win those games, too, but expecting and wanting are two completely different things. How in the world does anybody with any inkling of common sense or logic expect to beat teams that have not just marginally better talent than we do across the board, but in most cases, exponentially more talent. Take Uga for example. They wrack up top 10 after top 10 classes and yet, guys on here proudly proclaim they're not happy unless we beat them. Then they go on to spout off the string of defeats. Well what do you expect? This is not a game of chance where the odds eventually even out. This isn't like flipping a coin where there's a 50/50 chance it lands on one side or the other. Those guys are a semi-pro football f-a-c-t-o-r-y. Same story for most of the other teams the "no excuses" crowd holds up as a measuring stick for our success. The fact that we've been so competitive in these contests where talent differential suggests we should be blown off the face of the earth, says something positive about our program, imo. These same fans also dismiss wins against teams with comparable talent like it's a meaningless given. I get having high expectations as a point of pride, I do. I just don't get the logic behind them. Average recruiting ranking over the last 5 years (composite of all the services [url]http://cfbmatrix.com/pre-nsd-the-ultimate-reference-guide-feb-6th/[/url]): [B]Uga: 10 (over the last 10 years they're #2) Clemson: 15 VT: 22 Miami: 26 GT: 77[/B] You do the math.
